ApproveThis manages your NachoNacho Integration approvals.

When Approval Workflows Meet SaaS Shopping

Let's cut to the chase: nobody got into business to chase down approvals. Yet here we are – mid-sized companies wasting 12 hours a week on manual sign-offs for everything from software subscriptions to vendor perks. Enter the ApproveThis and NachoNacho integration via Zapier, where approval automation meets SaaS procurement. It's like giving your finance team a caffeine-free energy boost.

Why This Combo Works Better Than Your Current Process

NachoNacho's marketplace helps companies buy and manage SaaS tools like a pro. ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic ballet of getting decisions made. Together? They turn purchase approvals from a multi-day email chain into a 3-click process. The kicker? Approvers don't need NachoNacho logins – just an email address to approve or reject requests.

Key Benefits That Actually Matter

• Cut approval time for SaaS purchases from days to hours
• Auto-reject out-of-policy requests using approval thresholds
• Track every decision in real time – no more "I never saw that email"

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

1. Transaction Approvals That Don't Require Mind Reading

Picture this: Your marketing team finds a hot new analytics tool on NachoNacho. Instead of Slack-bombing the CFO, the purchase triggers an ApproveThis workflow with:

- Subscription cost breakdown
- Department budget remaining
- Auto-approved if under $500 (because we trust you... sort of)

Who needs this: E-commerce companies managing 50+ SaaS tools across teams. Stops random subscriptions from hitting corporate cards.

2. Perk Redemptions That Don't Become HR Nightmares

Employee redeems a vendor perk through NachoNacho? Cue the approval workflow checking:

- Eligibility status
- Usage limits
- Manager approval for high-value perks

Who needs this: Agencies with client-facing teams. Prevents junior staff from accidentally redeeming executive-level travel perks.

Setting This Up Without Calling IT

1. Create a Zapier account (takes 2 minutes)
2. Connect NachoNacho as trigger app
3. Set ApproveThis as action app
4. Map transaction data to approval fields
5. Test with a $1 dummy purchase

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag purchases exceeding department budgets.

Department-Specific Wins

Finance Teams

Finally track SaaS spending before it hits QuickBooks. Set hard stops for unauthorized purchases and auto-route large contracts to legal.

Procurement Teams

Centralize vendor perk redemptions with conditional routing. IT team approves software tools, department heads okay perks, nobody steps on toes.

Department Heads

Approve purchases directly from Outlook/Gmail. No logins, no dashboards – just click "Approve" and get back to actual work.

Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond basic approvals, this integration handles:

Vacation Coverage: CFO out? Requests auto-reassign to deputy without missing deadlines.
Audit Trails: Full history of who approved what – including those "temporary" test environments that became permanent.
Dynamic Routing: Purchases over $10k? Skip straight to VP-level approval with contract review.

Why This Beats Manual Processes

1. No approval black holes: Track status in real time instead of wondering if Janet in accounting saw your request
2. Policy enforcement that doesn't require babysitting: Auto-reject purchases from non-preferred vendors
3. External approvals that don't leak data: Clients can approve project-related SaaS buys without seeing your NachoNacho account

Common Objections (And Why They're Wrong)

"We already have purchase orders!"
Cool. Now make them actually prevent unauthorized spending instead of just documenting it after the fact.

"Our team prefers email approvals."
Great – ApproveThis works through email. But with deadlines, reminders, and an audit trail that doesn't require searching Outlook folders.
